Transportation Asset Management CTDOT is dedicated to the development and implementation of an agency-wide Transportation Asset Management (TAM) program with a vision to implement TAM across all modes of Connecticut s transportation network.
What is Transportation Asset Management (TAM)? TAM is a strategic and systematic process of operating, maintaining, and improving physical assets, with a focus on both engineering and economic analysis based upon quality information, to identify a structured sequence of maintenance, preservation, repair, rehabilitation, and replacement actions that will achieve and sustain a desired state of good repair over the lifecycle of the assets at minimum practicable cost. (FHWA Definition in MAP-21)
Five Core Questions Constitute the Foundation of TAM: 1. What is the current state of my assets? 2. What are my required levels of service and performance? 3. Which assets are critical to sustained performance? 4. What are my best investment strategies for operations, maintenance, replacements, and improvement? 5. What is my best long-term funding strategy?
Why Implement TAM? Aging Infrastructure Limited Funding Shift from Construction to Preservation Data-driven, Performance-based Decision-making Greater Accountability & Transparency
Examples of Asset Types Pavements Bridges Retaining Walls Culverts Sign Structures Traffic Signals Signs Fixed Guideway Rail Power Rail Communications Rolling Stock Facilities Major Capital Equipment
TAM for FHWA Assets
MAP-21 Requirements Each State must develop a risk-based TAM Plan (TAMP) for the NHS that includes: Listing of pavement and bridge assets on the NHS, including a description of their conditions Asset management objectives and measures Performance gap identification Lifecycle cost and risk management analysis Financial plan Investment strategies The TAMP must be developed and implemented by 10/1/15
What is FHWA Doing? TAMP Rulemaking Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) expected to be published in October/November timeframe Will include requirements for Bridge & Pavement Management Systems 60-day comment period CTDOT TAM Steering Committee will review & comment Final rule planned to be published by April 1, 2014 Pilot Project to Assist Three States in TAMP Development Louisiana Minnesota New York
TAM for FTA Assets
MAP-21 Requirements FTA, through regulation, shall establish a national TAM system which: Defines the term state of good repair (SGR) Sets objective standards for measuring the condition of capital assets, including equipment, rolling stock, infrastructure and facilities Establishes performance measures for SGR, under which all FTA grantees will be required to set targets All FTA grantees and their subrecipients must develop TAMPs that comply with the rulemaking and include: Capital asset inventories and condition assessments Investment prioritization Recipients must establish performance targets relating to SGR performance measures within 3 months of final rule
What is FTA Doing? TAM Rulemaking Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) expected to be published in late September or early October Joint ANPRM with Transit Safety Will pose specific questions to the industry 60-day comment period Will be reviewed & commented on by CTDOT ANPRM to be followed by NPRM and final rule in 2014
